JAKE PAUL looked unrecognisable as he claimed to illegally sneak into UFC 306 and defy Dana White’s orders.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer insists he has been banned from UFC events since 2021.
Paul, 27, says he is forbidden from attending events organised by White after he squared up with commentator Daniel Cormier at UFC 261.
He has now defied his ban by sneaking into UFC 306 in a comprehensive disguise.
Paul pulled off the stunt as he was desperate to watch friend Sean O’Malley try to defend his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili.
He uploaded a video to his social media accounts where he wore a very different outfit and wig paired with a fake beard and glasses.
Paul claimed during the video he was “illegally” sneaking into the event.
He said: “I’m risking going to jail if I get caught, can you imagine the mugshot?”
He could be seen walking past security before taking up his ringside seat.
Fans reacted to the video on his Instagram account.

One posted: “That was you? What the f**k.”
A second commented: “Jake turned himself into Hulk Hogan‘s uncle from Alabama.”
A third wrote: “Dana white having a meltdown right now.”
A fourth said: “Jake is definitely growing on me, hahaha, absolute class.”
Another added: “Jake just turned himself in by posting it his.”
Paul’s efforts, however, were not enough to encourage O’Malley on to victory.
The American was beaten by Dvalishvili after a fifth-round decision at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
The event also saw fans claim that one fighter received the “worst cut” in UFC history.

Paul is next expected to take to the ring on November 15 to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson.
However, the highly anticipated fight could be CANCELLED if Tyson fails medical checks.
ONE is a notorious YouTuber-turned-boxer who has taken the sport by storm.
The other terrorised all in the ring in the 1980s and 1990s, famously biting the ear off an opponent in one fight.
Iron Mike has rebuilt his life after squandering a £300m fortune with a cannabis empire, and is a huge advocate of the drug.
And as Paul has continued to rise up the ranks, he has splashed the cash on a fleet of amazing cars.
Whereas Tyson had more money than sense until a £15m debt saw him part with his cherished car collection.
Paul now lives in a plush mansion worth £13m in Puerto Rico, after escaping his hectic life in LA.
But these days, Tyson lounges in his Vegas property he paid £2.5m for with wife Lakiha, who he married in 2009.
Paul is not yet married but is smitten with his speed skater girlfriend Jutta Leerdam.
She will be by his side when her man puts his 9-1 boxing record on the line against two-time heavyweight champ Tyson on July 20.
